I was able to run the server properly after building it with ./build -g
. I can connect if I select the local server and therefore have localhost for ip address and ip management in the config.
If possible, I'd like to find out where I can put my VPN's internal IP address (assuming that's what I need) so I could have the server listen on that interface and let people connect to my server from the outside.
Thanks again for all your help and your contributions to this project.
It's not dumb at all! Don't be afraid to ask. I'm not an expert and still learning myself.
The VPN is running on the same machine that I am hosting the website on. There may be some configuration you can do to perhaps have the connection routed through your raspberry pi with a VPN running on it to the machine that's hosting the website, but I'm not sure how.
Otherwise, you should be able to at the very least run the entire setup on a raspberry pi.
